The Ministry of Internal Affairs declared 2017 the year of combating human trafficking

The corresponding order was signed by Interior Minister Arsen Avakov to ensure effective measures to combat trafficking in human beings and provide assistance to victims, introduce preventive policies to combat trafficking in human beings, and protect victims of such crimes.

The document says that all central executive authorities, which are coordinated by the Minister of Internal Affairs, are obliged to develop additional action plans for the year, providing for toughening the fight against crimes related to human trafficking.
